No more politics, I know what's next
Call me hypocrite, and burn down bridges
I got a river running through my neck
I got a river running through my heart

and all the blood, it spills, runs to the ocean
While the oceans rise up and mingle with the air
Growing fingertips and semen-stained covers
Singing mercy me, oh god, oh ecstasy, oh yeah, right there

fantastic chicks, strawberry hips
Light me a candle, blow out my wish
Unconscious id, turns toward the sun
Knows where the warmth is, knows what it wants

wants to be filled in, wants to be filled up
I want to be reborn, I want to be re-loved

and all the babies born swim from the ocean
All the rain that falls runs into the sea
Growing crazy mixed-up frogs that preach the coming of disaster
Singing mercy me, oh god, oh hell and ecstasy

El Dorado blues, nowhere left to run
Grandma got plutonium under the rug
Fanatical bliss, fanatical fire
Fanatics don't let their babies go dancing

you repress the beat, you repress the wine
Your momma mistook you for a lion
She cut off your head, she don't know you're dead
And all the streets you ruled run red

mmm, the grass grows green where the homeless man sleeps
And the mystic sneezes rain [shawls](?), I like your polka-dotted panties
And the heat grows desire as a white back arches
Under a hot blue sky, sunny afternoon in the park

ha la na na, ha na na na
La na na, na na na
Etc. etc.

no more politics, I know what's next
You call me hypocrite, come on burn it down
No more politics, I know what's next
We're all hypocrites, come on burn it down

go on, burn it down
Come on, burn it down

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
